Fall 2027- Africa- "Kilimanjaro Safaris" Major Refurbishment
In a refurbishment, Kilimanjaro Safaris will have many maintenance aspects taken care of and refurbished, as well as general upkeep. However, there will be more than just that to take place here. First, the story will return. It made the ride more fun and original, not just an average safari, but a true Disney safari where you are on an adventure and the ride tells a story. In addition, there will be a new interactive queue.
One attraction in WDW that is probably in one of the most dire needs of an interactive queue is probably Kilimanjaro Safaris, due to its high wait times and high demand. However, it is not one of the common cheap game interactive queues, but a real stand out and a great way to pass the time. One feature is Binoculars towards the end of the queue, where guests can look through and see video of animals on the safari, while other additions are replaced video footage that still feels authentic while adding a bit of humor and ride-preparation. In an extended Safari Booking Room, guests can see a giant map showing the route, as well as animal art and more animal trivia. However, a brand new queue and perhaps the biggest part is offered for guests who choose to take it, is the adventurer's queue, with walking across barrels, unsteady bridges, and nets, has water springs like in the ride that can shock and delight guests, and rock work and waterfalls to walk by/cross/climb, bringing the below picture to the queue itself. In the end, before boarding, one last addition is a live Cast Member, who greets guests and prepares them for their journey, tells them what to look out for, what to prepare against, and the legends of the Safari.
